Revision notes

Revise measurement and shapes

Work with clock times, area, perimeter and volume, then use parallel lines, right angles and shape properties to measure and draw figures.

Key ideas

Minutes and elapsed time
One hour is 60 minutes. Keep whole hours and leftover minutes together. Use them to write the same time differently.
The 24-hour clock and durations
A duration tells you how long something lasts. Watch the hour and date when you cross midnight.
Area and perimeter
Area counts the square units covering a surface. Perimeter measures the distance round its outside.
Missing sides and composite figures
Split a composite surface into useful parts for area. For perimeter, trace every part of the requested boundary.
Unit cubes and volume
Count three-dimensional space in equal cubes and read a layered cube drawing.
Turns, parallel lines and square corners
An angle is the opening between two arms. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle. Parallel lines stay the same distance apart.
Measure and draw angles
Place the protractor’s centre at the vertex and its zero line along an arm. Read the scale that begins at that zero.
Angles on lines and at a point
Find missing angles using turns, intersecting lines, equal parts and overlapping openings, and explain which facts make each method valid.
Rectangle and square properties and construction
A rectangle has equal, parallel opposite sides and four right angles. A square also has four equal sides. Check by measuring, not by how it looks.
